commentary hopefully we could see a change in our media i think we need to call them out i hope that politicians especially start calling them out and you know going on the street is just one way of doing it blogging is another way i do have more friends lined up but i think it goes beyond the signs of course but it's one part of a bigger strategy where you know what i think really is the worst part of it all is you know you can't stop him from saying what he says right that we have free speech in america but this guy had a television show and he has a lot of viewers he has good ratings and i don't know if you were here in washington d.c. for his restoring honor rally but i was i was just i had no words for the amount of people that actually came out so i think you know listen to women like me. and i talk to people who live here and it's so sad because they're so scared right now and i really don't think what makes america great is you know kind of hiding from the world and isolating ourselves and acting like everyone is out to get you we

need to be bold we need to be brave and i think that is unfortunately what glenn beck is exploiting it's the fear in us and. i think we need to speak out against that we need to remind ourselves that what makes america great is our bravery you know we put a man on the moon we've done incredible things. the future isn't going to be through dividing ourselves thinking that our president is somehow some kind of communist fascist somewhat of a terrorist but he never really makes that part completely clear it's really it's a dangerous political movement in a lot of ways but i think the more of us that speak out against it the more we can reveal it for what it is and hopefully those moderates in the middle will swing away from that and toward a more reasonable viewpoint will see if you are successful good luck with that thanks so much thanks so much prepared so to come on tonight's show calling someone a hick is not the way to win votes are two all time winners learning that the hard way and voters in california are going to decide next month if prop nineteen will

pass if approved the golden state will legalize and we said debate on the issue is intense and we will dive into it. and again this is i'll see you the headline. campaigning in. the fourth day of rest of the day the crucial presidential elections on sunday hopes to bring long awaited stability to the. religious tensions polls. protest against the new most construction fearing extremism but those that claim their rights are getting away with it most of the country. and on route to the end of the world fifteen bucks from the explorers have a box with a yellow voyage to the all the latest expedition to study at the area and to state

russia's territorial claims. now. next. it's time for tonight's tool time award and we're going to go ahead and give it to the national republican senatorial committee they got into some hot water over an ad that they released attacking a senate candidate in west virginia take a look. obama's mess and things spending money we don't have stimulus obamacare and joe manchin supported it all joe is not bad as governor but when he's with obama he turns into washington joe and washington joe does whatever obama wants what we better keep joe manchin right here west virginia away from washington that the only way we're going to stop. that you know it is all those actors in their flannel shirts in worn out hats making like intellectuals well it turns out the ad

was shot in philadelphia with philly actors but the real drama comes in from the casting call that was sent out and the kind of actors that they were looking for under wardrobe for the casting call it read we're going for a picky blue collar look and these characters are from west virginia so think coal mine trucker looks and each character should bring several options and stay away from all black or all white or anything stripes their stripes and platter could now ask for clothing suggestions they told him to bring jeans work boots flannel shirts genom shirts dickie type jackets with t. shirts underneath down filled vest john deere hats now brand new preferably beat up all trucker hats not brand new also preferably beat up and no thin stripes but here's my question do republicans really think that all west virginians are total hicks you know democrats jumped right on this ad and the casting call so quickly that the g.o.p. had to pull the t.v.

spot but it's caused quite the fires from back in west virginia governor joe manchin called on the n r r a c and his opponent john reese to apologize and news reports out of west virginia suggest that the locals don't like being called hicks so way to go national republican senatorial committee you want to discuss your candidates a senate seat and that's why you guys are tonight's two time winners. well we have got a great video for you tonight the. anti-war activism group code pink is trying a new approach when it comes to getting the word out about the infamous blackwater co-founder medea benjamin called on her inner gangster and put together a rap about the defense contractor take a listen. grace constellation these go to different names for the blackboard to me in but no matter which gets the job prints me killing there was a risk makes you believe that it really. makes it. i know what you guys are

thinking right that's no jeezy but i doubt it'll be featured on m.t.v. jams with this rap actually has lyrics worth listening to benjamin and her career mind is that no matter how many different names erik prince makes for his company they still get government contracts even though they throw parties like they really are gangsters with strippers and drugs they still get money from the government even though they're responsible for civilian casualties have defrauded the government stolen weapons they still get government contracts so basically the government is saying here we go blackwater's the whatever you're called we don't care how you do the job just do it and we'll pay you for it i for one say that we should actually listen to this rap because the message is just too important to blow off. now november isn't too far away and political campaigns are kicking into high gear across the country but a ballot initiative in california just might be the most explosive political

decision of them all i'm talking about proposition nineteen which if passed would make marijuana legal it's called the regulate control and tax cannabis act of two thousand and ten now while supporters claim that legalization could bring in millions of dollars in revenue for the state whose financial situation is so dire that they've been handing out i.o.u.'s opponents are worried of course about what could come with complete legalization will california then turn into a state of stoners more so than it already is will kids be able to pick it up at the grocery store like candy or with allowing the product to be regulated reduce drug use and drug arrests and start a trend across the u.s. or join me to discuss it in studio is allen st pierre executive director of normal the national organization for the reform of marijuana laws and from our studio in los angeles is chief kim raney police chief of covina california jam and i want to thank you both for joining me now alan i'll start with you since you're right here

in the studio tell me what that would mean if we'd really was just legalize across the board in california would we have just everyone running around stoned all the time well as you set it up no more so than they already are in california after seventy four years of prohibition that's a stereotype. you know there's always a kernel of truth time's going to california so i can make fun of my own. one it would do is stop the arrest of seventy thousand californians every year for using marijuana it would bring in some needed tax dollars and we get police to prioritize crimes that the public really cares about arresting people for marijuana is not one of them now in los angeles you are a police chief you are part of the law and there's been so. much criticism over the way the drug war is fought in this country you know there's a lot of statistics that say that in fact the drug war hasn't in any way coincided with with the with the decrease excuse me of drugs so what do you think would

happen if prop one thousand nine. hundred is the challenge first of all the drug war is a term that was coined in the late sixty's by the nixon administration but the truth of the matter is this is an initiative that has no hope of taxi in regulating the control the marijuana and that's why the chief of police throughout the state the sheriffs throughout the state the governor of california both candidates for governor on both sides of the ballot both the tourney general candidates on both sides of the ballot. twenty five major newspapers up and down the state of california both sides of the social and political spectrum are against this initiative and it's not so much the conversation about the legalization of marijuana it's that this initiative is so poorly written is going to create more issues than it answers so how is it exactly that this initiative is going to work i mean tell me why it's not actually going to regulate or control or bring in revenue . well it's not going to work first of all the myth is that it's going to bring in

one point four billion dollars to the general fund of california to help us during this downturn in the economy truth of the matter is the state of california doesn't get one cent if this initiative passes instead every city which four hundred seventy eight cities in california or every county which there's fifty eight now has to develop their own taxying regulation and control mechanism or scheme to try to regulate this so you're going to have over five hundred governmental bodies with different taxing schemes tacky taxi rates regulatory schemes it is a public policy disaster now alan would have to say that we have this is going to be just a public policy disaster a bureaucratic nightmare then what's the point well having lived through the same discussion in one thousand nine hundred eighty six when the same group of politicians and all the papers in california and all the law enforcement came out against prop two hundred five to make medical marijuana legal what happened the voters didn't believe them then they're likely not going to believe them now and just like with other type of taxation issues the counties surely should be able to

take this money and it's unfortunate that the state is not we shouldn't blame the state for being foolish here the county is going to come in and take the money and the going to get those monies to schools and hospice centers and libraries and to this man's salary well you know actually i want a lot more so he can be he couldn't be further from the truth i'm sorry could be further from the truth first of all in one thousand nine hundred six the voters of the state of california this is the medical marijuana it was presented as a compassionate use act and the voters in california are compassionate people they felt that if somebody would benefit medically from the marijuana they were all for that and deplete the chiefs of police in the state of california understand that argument problem is over george tenet of the people in california using marijuana or getting any kind of medical benefit from this according to eight percent are using recreational according according to the chief but i think he telephoned california cities and the umbrella organization for the counties throughout the state are both. this initiative because they realize even though theoretically

according to proponents that they're going to get money from this it is a disaster for them and they want nothing to do with this initiative now can but do you think if it wasn't this initiative that was self flogged would you be in support of legalizing marijuana do you think that this is something that every californian every american maybe one day should have the option to do like they have the option to drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes. we think it's time for a national discussion and that discussion should be are we as a society ready to legalize another intoxicant and are we prepared for the unanticipated consequences you can't have states individually breaking off and going to against federal law and federal policy it's time for a national conversation about consequences like what i mean tell me what's so scary about the fact that people can smoke weed legally. we're going to the issue we're going to create a whole new category of drivers here in california called a drug driver and you're going to people under the influence or intoxicated by marijuana since two thousand and four fatal traffic accidents in california where

the driver involved in the fatal accident tested positive for marijuana has increased one hundred percent and estimate by analysts from the net national traffic highway safety administration estimates if this measure passes that number is going to increase by three hundred percent so i make an offer to my my good friend in the studio there and then this measure passes one of the difficult things we have to do in law enforcement is we have to go knock on the doors of families who family members have been killed either by crimes or by failed traffic accidents and i have an open invitation that he can go with this and knock on the door explain to this family that their husband wife daughter son has been killed in a motor vehicle accident the other driver was under the influence of marijuana and you can explain why this is such a splendid idea i've had the same pleasure of going to my family's house to explain how my cousin died about the hall abuse while driving it doesn't make a case to keep seventy three years of probation together so if you really want to have that level of control. like you have for alcohol we must legalize it keeping

it illegal doesn't give you control as a police officer but tell me this i mean let's say a bit of police officer does pull you over if you know if proper nine hundred does pass and they think that you're stuck out how do they test you right there on the spot then everyone is going to say well you can't tell because you can't smell my breath and it becomes an invasion of privacy perhaps for the last forty years at least california police have been arresting people for using marijuana clearly what they do now actually ironically is test people and only test for the metabolites which actually doesn't test for impairment like you have for blood alcohol content so normal actually believes strongly you shouldn't drive a car impaired and saliva test and maybe other breath test in the future will make it so that you cannot drive while intoxicated which we don't support and all are well gentlemen i want to thank you both for being here all right of time but you know of course these are all of the the referee cautions the things that people are going to keep discussing whether property i think passes or not because it does seem like california is a place where the willpower least from some people to get medical to get legal

marijuana passed is not going to go away that you are that national discussion all right so to come on tonight's show our friday fireside chat and then comedian scenes missteps by we have some racy pictures that might sink a fridge in your politician's career and it appears that the g.o.p. can only find one single picture of illegal immigrants and now it's making the rounds on t.v. back in a moment. showbiz the. value of instantly has. high production success gratis. so is all of this is

a way to try to focus people's attention by using techniques that are sensitive that seems come out during this war we had millions of military entertainment. and. forty two thousand americans die each year from car accidents only a thousand. seven hundred thousand people murdered and thirty two thousand will kill themselves cancer in all its forms kills five hundred sixty thousand of us a year part disease is even more devastating it kills over eight hundred seventy thousand americans every here. i am. easy good nature and discover its museum lead the.

league the communicate with the wild. test yourself and become free m a p s c nature community and the. things to do this is not a provocation but warns of. the forces i'm sure to see several already assured of support for trieste recently they have no idea about the hardships the group face in. the late one it's business is it of them to loosen the grip in the army or the life of the usaf is the most precious thing in the world. from years of self-sacrifice and heroism with those who understand it fully but you have to live us and real life stories from world war

two. victories nineteen forty five dot dot com. to tonight's fireside fridays be your host. is friday i'd like to bring one tom obey back into the mix to see the first civilian trial for get mo detainee has been postponed again but it's not necessarily bad in fact something incredible happened this week judge lewis kaplan issued a decision barring the testimony from the key witness because the government only found out about him through torturing defend. do you realize what that means how significant this is that means that somebody in this country is actually up holding the rule of law the fact that torture is illegal and therefore the use of coerced

statements is not allowed in court not even for the government finally it seems like somebody was able to look beyond that sheet of terrorism covering everyone's eyes and remember his remember the inquisition the stalin show trials remember the supreme court case in the one nine hundred thirty s. the barred confessions by black defendants they were beaten up by whites this is to be sure if you torture someone enough at some point they're going to say whatever makes you happy just to stop but that does not mean that they're speaking the truth and that you should use their words against them but does not mean that you can set them up and only give them a trial because you're convinced that it's going to go your way and you'll get a guilty verdict that's exactly what our government tried to do don't forget how heated the debate is about how we should try guantanamo detainees and there are those out there who want military commissions to be used for those exact reasons because in a military commission the whole rule of law thing oh they're not going to let that

get in the way so really this is a bittersweet day in the trial of a nickel for the first time in. insane post nine eleven years a court is actually of knowledge that torture is illegal. but there's a bitter side to it all is that this just might doom. this might allow those fear mongers to get their way to point fingers in our federal courts and say that they're never going to convict anyone at this rate so move them to the missions this also is not going to stop the government holding people indefinitely and of course just acknowledging the torture is wrong is still miles away from actually punishing those who did the torturing and from going up so if this is what we call justice in america today then i got to tell you something's wrong and why do we even have a justice system if we continue to ignore it so again i applaud judge kaplan for this one decision but i have to remind you that just this one is not an.

on a lighter note let's talk about the jersey shore where would we be without a reality show about the out of control. because you girls let me do anything but. oh. yeah late night cap fights and cursing just drawing in millions of fans every single week so naturally spin offs are in the works and one is confirmed to air it is the russian spin off of the jersey shore which has been confirmed to air on the lifetime network now it's called brighton shore and this show is all about family and said of the friends during drunken hook ups the show is actually going to follow three russian families out of the russian brooklyn neighborhood which is near coney island and apparently all the families featured on the show are involved with the night club so i think that i never could be pretty interesting now back when we first heard the rumor of a russian spin off we obviously got excited we had the chance to meet with someone

who audition for the show himself i think you remember russian might. i think i can bring some things to the table i have a lot of friends i have a good time when i go out with people people turn to you know really they. flock to me i have my magnetic personality maybe i have a good time when i go out and i think you know some of that rubs off on a brother so i just think it would be a good good choice you know for me to be on the show. well apparently the casting crew didn't agree with russian mike because they didn't make the cut but we are still excited to watch the show and see if they play upon all those russian cultural stereotypes can i can tell you this one thing as a russian myself that young or old russians do like to drink so just because it's a family show don't think that it's not going to be entertaining.

well it's friday so as usual or religious teaching for some comedic relief here talking about nine years of war in afghanistan is important but it wears on you and i for one need a little break so instead we're going to talk about red dildos and what they could do for political campaign babies with e-mail addresses because that's just wrong as well as illegal immigrants and the fact that there must only be three of them in all of america i'll explain in just a minute but first let me introduce my guest comedian. just the whole it's just funny and for you to do it go you will do read. a little. ok so i want to start with these illegal immigrants pictures we have to conservative candidates david vitter and sharron angle who both are on the whole anti legal immigration bandwagon and they both put out ads and they both used the exact same picture i mean you have to be kidding me if you can't find more than

three illegal immigrants you go down to home depot and they're right there really this is all they could find really really you know it's really funny what this what this picture what are they trying to convey you know this this doesn't give me the scared of illegal immigrants will give me the whole gangsta rap album cover for you right this is like a cypress hill but i want to start saying it like it's a memory right now and i've really gotten out about what he's wearing a backwards hat therefore you must be a thug therefore he must be an illegal immigrant issue to that's who. they are the politicians are getting so freaking lazy these days you're absolutely it's just too easy to see through their lies. now i want to talk about another politician this is someone new that we haven't spoken about before on the show and her name is crystal ball. and. there's some pictures that surface i guess facebook of her at a christmas party a couple years ago people are really freaking out about it seems years ago discover

six years ago this is a dark time in a life where she didn't. do both it was so dark you had savvy and her boyfriend's red dildo rudolph the reindeer you know as well it's nice now do you think is going to make or break her political campaign. manager pins which if she was in jersey shore crew yeah why not are genuine i don't know this is so messed up you know i really think about these pictures this is going to ruin the future red dildo parties that i have planned you know because every girl can pull that card i don't know and i run for office nowadays but yeah i've only heard a couple times now there's going to be really is a good law about it and i really like that you know is that what you have is now it's going to be like i don't want my life this is like she went wrong this this is definitely this is the i want to can we have this book can we send the e-mail me this picture i might use this for tonight i might get a lonely night and i just have to get this is a good what she had that were yourself this is fashion really and that is that you can't you can't you know if you're too excited about this guy i think we need to move on voting for her she's got my boy i'm going to join us to vote for this chick

i mean it well the thing is here right this is from six years ago you were saying and let's be fair that was in the past these days everything you do is on the internet and there's a new study just came out that said seventy percent of newborns already at birth have an e-mail address because their parents signed them up for it my brother did the same thing yes i know it's creepy it is creepy but like where they get even they can't even walk or use their fingers that i understand but you know it's better than the people that make e-mail addresses for their dogs that's creepy all right because at least the baby is going to figure it out officially but dollars just to we don't want to use it for people the exploit their babies on the internet just because other people are doing what they're going to get more healthy baby pictures on that why was that was that a dead baby that was created yes listen i'm going to go to you since those people are just saying it could blow when can we have a baby this is. this is not this baby is not healthy that we can. come by ok i'm sorry that is a very it's a cute yes listen listen i just think that u.b.s.
